Neosupervital, aka Dublin multi-instrumentalist and producer Tim O’Donovan, brings you his first new music since 2020.
After releasing the well-received Factory Presets in January, followed by I.S.T.H.I.S.L.O.V.E. in April, it's time for a Summer double A-side release:
HAZY AFTERNOON, a live favourite, is about chilling in the back garden with a mid-strength beer, trying to be a productive member of society but being distracted by the beautiful minutiae of the world, all set to a head-nodding synth funk groove.
SIT IN THE SUNSHINE (WITH YOU) is a woozy, dreamy, synthy almost-instrumental, the vocal refrain only appearing after the halfway mark, with shades of BOC, Air and Jan Hammer. One for horizontal listening in the back garden, preferably on a hammock, also with a mid-strength beer.
Both tunes are perfect additions to any sun-drenched Summertime playlist ☀️😎
As well as recently supporting Houseplants, The Police’s Stewart Copeland, George Clanton and Catching Flies, Neosupervital has previously opened for acts such as Money Mark (Beastie Boys), Thomas Dolby, Divine Comedy, ABC, St. Germain, Peter Bjorn and John, Hercules and Love Affair, Jaga Jazzist, Bob Log III, Moldy Peaches and has toured the UK and Europe as special guest of The Human League.
Neosupervital has played numerous Irish festivals including Drop Everything, Electric Picnic, Altogether Now, Indiependence, and is lined up to play Night and Day and Vantastival festivals this Summer. A June co-headline tour is also in the works, followed by an album release tour in the Autumn.
Fun fact: Tim is also drummer for BellX1 and numerous other acts.
Reviews of previous Neosupervital releases:
“Has a contemporary dance floor suss…infectious, high-gloss glitter-pop…is there anybody out there who knows their way around a good synth pop tune better than O’Donovan?” The Star
“…leaving you hungry for more after the mirrorball stops spinning…fusing classic disco melodies with electronic laptop wizardry.” Hot Press
“Often augmenting his synth-laden sound with fuzzy guitar, O’Donovan’s ear for a cracking melody is as sharp as ever. With his talent for amusing lyricism also in evidence, there’s more than enough here to keep the faithful happy.” Business Post
For fans of: Beck, Sparks, Money Mark, Dandy Warhols, Human League, Air, Duran Duran, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Tame Impala, Jonathan Richman, The Cars, Chromeo, The System
